Is BBC Radio Sheffield's Paul Walker taking us all for fools?

[john carr]

It wasn't that long ago - a month or so perhaps? - that disc jokey, Paul Walker left BBC Radio Sheffield to go "freelance". Rumour has it that his elaborate leaving party cost thousands of licence payer's pounds.

 

Since his "leaving" he has been presenting on the Station more than before, and now appears to have taken over Tony Foster's morning show.

 

Have we licence payers been duped, should Walker pay back the money for his "leaving do"?

 

I am a bit disgusted with this and will no longer be listening to the wireless until these fat cats begin to treat the licence payer - their life blood - with a bit more respect.

From an angry Colonel in 1930 ?

What is your point of posting what amounts to nonsence unless, you have proof?

[john carr]

As far as I can be sure about anything that I hear, it is more than likely true, bajzea. But, if you can prove otherwise, I am willing to hear you out.

 

Alien52, I don't understand what you mean?

Where do you get the valves for your wireless from ?

[Carmen.]

Alien52.

Your comment smacked of deliberately putting your point over in a smug way.

Be concise.

I have no proof one way or the other that is why I asked for proof.

Hearsay is hardly going to hold up in any enquiry.

Freelance doesn't mean he never darkens Radio Sheffield's door ever again. It means he's not contracted to work there every day. They said before he 'left' that he'd be back to cover for the occasional Toby Foster absence over the summer.

So why the star studded leaving do, paid for by the license payer?

Any actual evidence of this? Source of rumour perhaps?
